AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
228 PM MDT SUN JUL 9 2000

ANOTHER ROUND OF HOT TEMPERATURES OCCURRED THIS AFTERNOON AND THE HOT
TMPS WILL CONTINUE ALTHOUGH...THE MODELS WERE INDICATING A COUPLE OF
DEGREE TEMPERATURE DROP WITH THE PASSAGE OF A TROUGH BY MONDAY. THE
NGM WAS THE COOLR OF THE MODELS AND WILL LEAN TOWARD A ETA/AVN
SOLN.

STRONG 5H/HI DRIFTED SE SLIGHTLY AND WAS OVER THE SE US. THIS SLIGHT
SHIFT EAST WAS PRODUCING A RETURN FLOW OF MOISTR INTO THE ROCKY
MTNS AND THE LATEST WVI INDICATED THIS INCREASE IN MOISTR WAS EDGING
INTO THE WESTERN AND NW FA. ALONG WITH THE MOISTR INCREASE A S/W WILL
ALSO APPROACH THE NW FA LATE THIS AFTN. THE MODELS WERE SHOWING A LOW
LVL CONVERGENCE ZONE ACRS THE W AREA WHERE A FEW CU WERE DEVELOPING
ATTM. IN ADDITION THE LATEST LAPS DATA SHOWED CAPE VALUES RISING TO
NEAR 2000J/KG WITH A DIMINISHING CAP OVR THE NNW FA AND A FEW TSRA
MAY DEVELOP BUT ONCE THE SUN SETS THIS ACTIVITY SHUD DIMINISH.

THE TROUGH LINGERS ACRS THE N AND NE PART OF THE FA MONDAY AND K
INDEX VALUES INCREASE TO ABOVE 35C. ALSO CAPES RISE ABOVE 1000J/KG
AND WITH A ESE LOW LVL FLOW USHERING ADDITIONAL MOISTR NORTHWARD I
MAY INCLUDE POPS FOR MOST OF THE FA MONDAY. A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO
NORTHERN NEBRASKA TUESDAY BUT I THINK IT WILL REMAIN NORTH OF OUR CWA
ESPECIALLY AS 5H/HGHTS REBUILD ACROSS THE AREA. 850/TMPS RISE
SLIGHTLY AND I EXPECT AFTN TMPS TO DO THE SAME WITH PCPN CHANCES
BEING BETTER ACRS OUR N FA.

IN THE EXTENDED...MRF/ECMWF/UKMET ALL SHOW THE 500 MB RIDGE
STRENGTHING WEDNESDAY INTO THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. I WILL GO
WITH DRY CONDITIONS AND HOT TEMPERATURES AS THIS RIDGE IS CENTERED
OVER THE FA. THE MRF CONTINUES WITH THE STRONG RIDGE PATTERN INTO
THE WEEKEND...SO IT COULD BE A LONG HAUL BEFORE WE SEE TEMPERATURES
BELOW NORMAL.

.GLD...NONE.
